NORTH CAROLINA'S REUNION
THE JOYOUS HOME COMING OF NATIVE
NON-RESIDENTS.
Ingathering at Greensboro One of the
State's Proudest Occasions — Great
Speeches Made by Distinguished Caro-linians—
The City in Uala Attire In
Honor of Her Guests—Thousands Spend
Tuesday at the Battle Ground—Closing
Scenes—Reunion Notes.
A magnificent audience filled the
spacious auditorium of the Grand Mon-day
afternoon to listen to the addresses
of welcome delivered by Gov. Charles
B. Aycock on behalf of the state and
Hon. James T. Morehead on behalf of
the city and the responses delivered by nim and the varied engagements which
Carolina were tar and turpentiue, but
since I have been sitting in this as-semblage
and have heard the eloquent
words of the speakers, it seems to me
that our geographies should now teach
that North Carolina is noted for her
noble men and beautiful women."
The next response was made by Hon.
W. P. Futrell, of Philadelphia, Pa.
He said that the North Carolina Society
in Philadelphia was living the life of
the average North Carolinian; an ac-tive,
useful, busy life, so busy indeed,
said he, "that they can't take time to
eat." The speaker theu gave a humor-ous
account of a recent endeavor to
get a number of the members of the
Philadelphia Society to luncheon with

visitors from the diilerent states of the
Union.
The exercises were opened w ith an
invocation by Dr. C. W. Byrd, of At-lanta,
Ga. Dr. C. I). Mclver theu an-nounced
the singing of the state song,
•'The Old North State." Theaudience
responded by singing the familiar song
with great emphasis and feeling.
J>r. Mclver iu his own inimitable
way introduced to the audience the
presiding officer, Senator Matt W.
Ransom. In introducing the Senator
j Dr. Mclver said that representative
citizens from twenty-six states were
here to attend the exercises, but that
today they were the citizens of one
state. He was specially happy in his
wonis regarding the aims and results
of this first great North Carolina re-union.
Senator Ransom in assuming the
chair was greeted by rounds of ap-1
prevented.
Mr. John Wilbur Jenkins, of Ualti-more,
Md., made the next response.
"What] likeabout North Carolinians,"
said Mr. Jenkins, "is that they, like
Cleveland's ducks, own themselves.
She owns her own cotton factories, fur-niture
factories, tobacco factories and
farm lands." Mr. Jenkins spoke in
praise of his society in Baltimore, and
urged the establishment of North Caro-iu
business and in manufactories. Mr.
Bryan struck a responsive chord in the
audience with an account of how the
speakers, who preceded him on Mon-day
had used every pillar, rafter and
shingle of his speech.
Judge Fitzgerald, of Nevada, was
the next speaker. "My first feeling,"
said he, is love and gratitude to be here
this morning for the first time in forty
years; here, where I first began to re-ceive
my edTrc*ation. My second feel-ing
is love and gratitude that we wan-derese
have not been forgotten by the
home folks of my beloved native state.
After "Dixie" by the band Dr. Mc-lver
in a few well chosen words intro-duced
Hon. Joseph M. Dixon, of Mon-tana.
Mr. Dixon in opening his remarks
said that if, instead of being a reunion,
this had been a county fair, he would
have claimed the blue ribbon, for not
only had he traveled five days and
3,000 miles to be here, but had brought
his wife and three little half-breed
North Carolinians who were receiving
their first degree iu the ancient order
or Tar Heels.

The last speech of the day was made
by Dr. R. P. Pell, president of Cou-
"The most essential characteristic of
North Carolinians in other states," he
said, "is the 'homing1 instinct im-planted
within th<«ir breasts. So mark-ed
is this that they are called 'down
homers."' North Carolina is always
"down home" to them, no matter
